Endocrine Sun Sequence

Duration:

37 mins

Discover how to use the sun sequence to balance your endocrine system - this class is especially useful if you're looking to conceive.

Rika takes us through the sun sequence with an awareness and focus on the various endocrine glands in our body. The awareness brings a balance to each gland which is beneficial to everyone.

This class includes:

Activations
Sun Sequence - step by step with an explanation on what gland to focus on
Sun Sequence - the full sequence with a flow and little explanation
Short Relaxation

The Sun Sequence will stimulate all the glands. When we bring in a focus and awareness to each gland, we work on a deeper level. Using the Ujjayi breath (breathing in through the nose, and a long breath out through the mouth), we visualise a light coming into the gland, balancing the gland.

Rika will bring your focus to the following glands/areas during the sequence:
Thymus: supports the immune system by producing anti-bodies
Thyroid: controls our metabolism which has an effect on our energy levels
Ovaries/Uterus: focus on this area to bring a balance for conception or focus on the colon as this is an important area as well for nutrition
Pineal: produces melatonin which helps us with our sleep
Pituitary: master gland that controls several other glands
Hypothalamus: releases several hormones as well as regulating body temperature
Adrenal: releases cortisol as well as other hormones. Cortisol helps you respond to stress and has many other important functions
Kidneys: produce Vitamin D, an essential vitamin
Pancreas: regulates blood sugar levels

The above is just a quick overview of each gland so you are aware of their function and why it is important to have healthy, balanced glands.

Thank you Rika. This was wonderful, so deep and searching. Loved the new focus during Gate posture and looking behind. I feel refreshed and toned from the inside out.
